Sam weiss evansIn @statnews today, David Gillum and I argue that now is an excellent time to rethink the infrastructure we have in place to identify and address #biosecurity concerns.

We note that rethinking involves being methodical about experimenting in governance. For these experiments in governance to work, we note three things that need to be place:
1) top cover for practitioners who want to try something different
2) funding for small scale experiments in governance that are directly addressing the structural issues that limit our current systems
3) a process for those engaged in these experiments in governance to share our learning across communities, and for that learning from below to feed back into policy design.
